So I guess you all knew before I did haha! I am going toooo....
CENTRAL MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY!!!
Can
I just tell you how much I love going to campus...ALOT!! I am obsessed
with it actually...So I am going to get on the transfer van at 3:30
today and head off! It was hard saying goodbye but this week was long
and made me ready! Besides a little emotional break down yesterday
(which I am proud to say I haven't one had for 3 months...that is an
AMAZING feat on a mission just so ya know) which was brought on by a
hilarious story....
so here I am so happy that everything fit into my three main bags
then a bag for my bedding and a small extra bag for some of the books I
had and some other few things. I know that having this extra bag was
fine because EVERYONE brings TONS of bags to transfers and it is ALWAYS
fine! so here I am super accomplished and stress free ready to go to
bed! so at 10 pm
all the sudden we get a text from the zone leaders saying oh by the way
you can only have you three bags...WHAT?! I was angry! I had spent all
this time packing and now a half an hour before we are supposed to go to
bed you are telling me, SISTER OSWALD to go through my bags and get rid
of my clothes! So in furry I call the zone leaders and tell them how
they cannot text a half an hour the night before transfers and tell me
to unpack all my bags! Well it all ended up to elder leavitt inviting
himself to kenz's wedding, me inviting both of them over to re-pack my
bags, and both zone leaders and I laughing so hard haha! It was funny
and now I can have four bags on the transfer van :) thank you. that is
all.
This week we had FOUR investigators tell us that
they thought we were cute and we can keep coming back but not to teach
them....so that sucked. FOUR investigators dropped like that or a few of
them passed over to the elders haha. We have been finding A LOT because
alot of our investigators just had no potential for right now. So we
prayed about what street to door knock and headed our way. so we knocked
and knocked and knocked like missionaries do and then we knocked into
Abby she is the cutest little pregnant girl and she was so nervous to
raise her first child so we shared about how families can be
strengthened through the restored gospel! she invited us to come back
and wow she is sooo prepared!!! heavenly Father truly directed our
paths!! This Wednesday
sister Jones and sister Jensen are going to commit her to baptism! That
will be neat. (I have been trying to say neat lately...haha don't ask
me why)
We also went Less active finding and we stopped by
max and his wife said that she took the lessons with max a while ago and
she almost got baptized but her and max weren't married and living
together but now they are married and she wants to be baptized! what a
miracle!
welll mi familia! This week has been super awesome
with transfer calls and a lot of miracles! I will miss Kalamazoo SOOOO
MUCH! like alot. but I know that CMU is where I am needed and where the
Lord wants me and I will just trust in that. I have been soo humbled
accepting a call to be a sister training leader at CMU I know that with
the Lord all things are possible but I hope he knows that he is going to
have to pull alot of it! haha! I am so excited to serve the sisters in
the midland zone! I can't wait to just love each and everyone of them to
death! I know my Heavenly Father knows what he is doing and what I need
the most to grow! So I will trust in him with all my heart and serve
with all my heart, might, mind, and strength! I love this work with
everything that I have! I cant believe that I am almost at my eight
month mark! it makes me want to cry so maybe I will just get rid of
every calender and not think about it. Really though I just want you all
to know how much I love this gospel. I love my father in heaven so much
and I love how this church is perfectly his. He is the head of this
church and the head of this missionary work. I know with all my heart
that this is the one and only way back to our Heavenly Father. Living
this gospel makes you happy here and in the eternities. Only this. I
love you all and thank you all for your incredible examples!
annnddd...
